The devices were discovered on Friday night in an area of Portglenone Forest Park.
Police said they were found after the PSNI were made aware of suspicious activity in the area.
The army bomb squad was called in and the devices were made safe and removed for further examination.
Earlier this year, pipe bombs were left at a GAA club in Portglenone, and at another club and catholic primary school in nearby Ahoghill.
Loyalists have been blamed for these attacks and the latest find.
North Antrim Sinn Féin MLA Daithí McKay has called on people in the area to be vigilant.
"This find comes in the wake of a number of pipe bomb attacks in the Portglenone and Ahoghill area targeting GAA clubs and a Catholic Primary School", he said.
"What is most concerning about the find is the fact that the pipe bombs are viable devices.
"I would appeal for local people to be vigilant in light of this find and I am thankful that they were intercepted before they were used."
Police want anyone who may have information to contact them.
